摘要： Techniques to form an integrated circuit having a gate cut between adjacent pairs of semiconductor devices. At least one of those adjacent pairs of semiconductor devices includes a conductive link (e.g., a bridge) through the gate cut to connect the adjacent gates together. In an example, neighboring semiconductor devices each include a semiconductor region extending between a source region and a drain region, and a gate structure extending over the semiconductor regions of the neighboring semiconductor devices. A gate cut is present between each pair of neighboring semiconductor devices thus interrupting the gate structure and isolating the gate of one semiconductor device from the gate of the other semiconductor device. A conductive link extends over a given gate cut to electrically connect the adjacent gate electrodes together. A dielectric layer extends over the bridged gate electrodes and the conductive link, and may have different thicknesses over those respective features.

摘要： Techniques are provided herein to form semiconductor devices that include a conductive bridge between topside contacts on adjacent source or drain regions. The conductive bridge extends through a dielectric wall that separates the adjacent source or drain regions. In an example, a first semiconductor device includes a first gate structure around or otherwise on a first semiconductor region (or channel region) that extends from a first source or drain region, and a second adjacent semiconductor device includes a second gate structure around or otherwise on a second semiconductor region that extends from a second source or drain region. A conductive bridge connects a first conductive contact on a top surface of the first source or drain region with a second conductive contact on a top surface of the adjacent second source or drain region through a dielectric wall that otherwise separates the conductive contacts.
